Do not Save Juice in Transparent Container | Busy work often makes us no time to prepare food with balanced nutrition, including neglect of consumption of fruit. To address the need for intake of fruits, fresh juices into one solution. "Jus be one practical way to enjoy the tremendous benefits of fruit body needs," said nutrition expert Emilia E. Achmadi, MS, RD, in "Does You Good Buavita Fruit", in the Birdcage, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, Tuesday (19/03/2012) then.

But according to Emilia, in order maximum benefits of fruit juice still store, there are some things you need to consider:1. Drink immediately after juice is made
Benefits of biggest pieces found in fresh whole fruit condition, so if the fruit has been processed, such as: cooked or in-juice, actually have reduced nutritional value. To guard against the decline in nutrient levels in the juice, make this juice just before drinking. Storage process will make the fruit juice is exposed to oxygen, and cause oxidation, which can change the color of the juice and damaging levels of nutrients.

"Every fruit will also experience the process of oxidation, and this process will further reduce the nutritional value to about 50 percent more,"

said Emilia.

2. Do not Discard skin and seeds
The highest content of vitamins and antioxidants in the fruit lies in the seeds and skin. But, of course, not all of the fruit can be eaten with the skin and seeds. Some types of fruit such as apples and pears should be eaten with the skin, without the peel. When you wish to make juice, rind should blend well with the seeds. "For example, for guava juice, do not remove skin and seeds, but blend together until the seeds are crushed, and screened the new," she said.

3. Do not place it in a transparent container
May be you wanna to keep juice, because it still remains, but do not store it in a transparent or translucent container. Juice in a transparent container placement will cause the ultraviolet rays into the container and break down some chemicals and nutritional value of juice. To avoid a reduction in the nutritional value of juice, stored in a colored container and place it into the freezer.

4. Add lemon juice
To avoid excessive oxidation process, add the lemon juice into the juice. Additional lemon juice will inhibit the oxidation process that occurs in the juice, and will add nutritional value. Additional few drops of lime or lemon juice into the juice prevents discoloration.
